Jiangmi and glutinous rice are two different kinds of rice.

Jiangmai, also known as glutinous rice, is a variant of glutinous rice and shares some similarities with it, but there are some differences. Jiangmi's particles are smaller than regular rice but larger than glutinous rice, and its grains have a smooth surface, a more transparent color, and a slightly chewier but stickier texture than glutinous rice.

Jiangmai is mainly produced in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and is widely used in the production of jiangmai cakes, glutinous rice flour and other foods. Glutinous rice, on the other hand, is a kind of short-grained rice that is very glutinous, with smaller particles, a smoother surface, a slightly yellowish color, and a very sticky texture. Glutinous rice is mainly produced in the southern region of China and is widely used in the production of traditional foods such as glutinous rice, glutinous rice cake and glutinous rice balls. Therefore, although Jiangmi and glutinous rice are somewhat similar in some aspects, there are differences in particle size, texture, and origin.
